120 credits
Length of time varies. Depends on how long it takes you to complete the ACE courses and then the UMPI courses. Most are completing UMPI in 2-3 sessions when transferring in 90 credits.
$1400 per 8 week session

How many credits completed at UMPI after transferring in 90? Should be a fairly simple question. However, that depends on how many UL's they've transferred in right? Also depends on whether their transferred credits satisfy GEC requirements or not. For the average person trying to see if UMPI is even an option worth looking into, it's way too complicated. Even the Wiki admits how ridiculously complicated GEC is. Thanks for the he

You have to complete a minimum of 30 credits at UMPI. 
120 - 90 = 30

It's not that complicated. I did it twice.  It all depends on what you transfer in.

What transfers in as UL and what matches GEC. Clear as mud : ) I'd be looking at 42 needed at UMPI. 21 as UL electives. Are folks taking 2-3 sessions to get through 30? Ballpark on how many sessions to get through 42?

I transferred in 44 from community college and another 60 from SDC. After evaluation, that left me with 27 credits required for my degree (a BA rather than a BLS), plus an additional 3 credits for the residency requirement (30 credits total). In two sessions, I finished exactly 42 credits. I finished my requirements after about 1.5 sessions and took some extra classes for fun (three of the four UL). Some people are faster, some are slower. I majored in History and did a lot of writing (something like 80,000 words total); other majors or minors may be less writing intensive.

I began the process on SDC last September, doing five classes per month, and started at UMPI in January. Did two sessions to finish in May. All told about eight months to complete 102 credits, including 42 at UMPI.

So it's doable (but I didn't find it easy).

I was pondering 42 in 3 sessions but wary of overstressing things. Thanks for your reply.

Here is a link to a prior post for the same BLS minor Management. This should help you to see what you should have left. You can transfer 90 units and must complete a minimum of 30 at Umpi.

This was extremely helpful. Thanks for replying.

My BLS I completed in 3 sessions. I had 3 minors and 1 is what most normal people do (I'm far from normal). For that degree I completed 16 courses in 3 sessions. Every course was not available in every session then. That has changed.

My BA I completed in 3 sessions as well. I had to complete 10 classes. I was really slow and had some issues going on in my personal life so that slowed me down quite a bit.

There's no right or wrong. It takes however long it takes. On here most finish in 2-3 sessions. Some unicorns finish in 1 session. I can't imagine completing 10 or more courses in a single session. I'd lose my mind. LOL

Students must take a minimum of 24 credit hours of UL electives beyond courses taken for the general education core and minor requirement & most of the UL courses must be taken at UMPI

So you can complete the following UL courses on your own
Business Law UL (Sophia)
2 UL courses from SDC
Total: 9 credits

Then at UMPI, complete the remaining 15 UL credits or 5 courses.

For the remaining 5 courses for GEC & Core, you would take at UMPI
English comp I
English comp II
BUS 321: Human Resource Management
BUS 415: Operations Management
PCJ 215: Business Communication

You are doing 120 credits total and taking 30 credits or 10 courses with UMPI.

You should be able to finish 30 credits in 1-2 sessions at UMPI.

You could do more than 10 courses at UMPI though it may take longer to finish.

can you share your plan please?

I'm not sure my plan would be that helpful, as I transferred in a bunch from community college, and also took unnecessary classes, because I was planning to transfer into TESU for a while. Also, I majored in History and you're looking at a BLS. That said, I've attached a plan for classes at Study.com that should fulfill the general education curriculum requirements. 

I should note, however, that this would cost about $1,160 on SDC and take three months if you do five classes per. Many of these requirements could also be met on Sophia for much less. 

Also, there are several here who would recommend you take, for example, the English classes at UMPI and the Spanish somewhere other than SDC (I took Spanish II on SDC and passed with an 82%, but it took me an entire month). All of this is to say that, while this plan could be followed to complete the GEC on Study.com, it's only one option and some folks would recommend against certain aspects of it.

Hmm... We're jumping all over the place and overlooking a few things: The way you were asking can get you so many answers, it's like asking for an order of coffee and providing us not enough info to complete the order and that was the reason why I linked you to the thread template, so you can provide extra details within Degree Planning Advice post and what I have entered in the addendum (post #5 of this thread).

@OP, You're trying to get answers but you're not providing enough details to get those answers... It's not just UMPI, every single school has their own regulations in regards to what courses are acceptable for transfer, these regulations are "clear as mud".  You really need to know what is required and plug in the courses you know would transfer into UMPI.  By asking these generic questions you have, it's hard to provide a concrete answer as those change when your variables are different, furthermore we don't know what your variables ARE to make suggestions to possible answers...

If you reviewed my link to the spreadsheet, I have shown the General Education requirements, minors, upper level requirements and free electives.  It also shows which providers to take the courses and also the number of courses required at UMPI, Study.com, etc, maximizing your transfer credit.  It has several courses from Sophia.org and InstantCertCredit and shows you can transfer any "random" Sophia.org courses for the elective credits - up to 14 of them.   UMPI degrees all have different requirements for each, this is only for the BAS or BLS.  Link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...tVK6E/edit

Now, if you're starting from scratch, that template above will give you 121 credits and the BLS with a triple minor, again all from scratch if you go according to my plan.  So pretend you're transferring 90 credits in and you know exactly what those 90 credits are (the 14 electives and the general education, Study.com courses), you're left with the final 10 at UMPI.  Simple... again, you just need to know what you're transferring in and where it goes!

If I went with UMPI I would be doing History not BLS. I think I have the Gen Ed sorted already, it's the core I struggle with lol Think Ive figured out the 10 courses to take at UMPI if I go that route.

The history requirements are attached. You can take care of the two POS classes with your GEC fulfillment if you plan correctly, as well as the first foreign language requirement, and one of the US History classes (say, US History I). I'd try to take US History II and Spanish II before enrollment as well. That would leave you with ten classes in your major. 

If you should decide to save a couple GEC classes for UMPI, you could also take a couple UL History classes on SDC. If you do that, I'd recommend both the Vietnam classes, as there's a lot of overlap and they'd both fill slots.
